Abstract

In the analysis of the reaction e+e-→e+e-KS0Ks0 clear evidence for exclusive γγ→f2 resonance production is observed. The product Γγγ ·B(f2→K {Mathematical expression}) is measured to be 0.10-0.03-0.02+0.04+0.03 keV independent of an a priori assumption on the helicity structure. Our data are consistent with a pure helicity 2 contribution and we derive an upper limit for the ratio Γγγ(0)γγ. The absence of events in the mass region around 1.3 GeV clearly proves destructive f2-a2 interference and allows to measure the relative phases between f2, a2 and f2. Upper limits on the production of the glueball candidate states f2(1720) and X(2230) as well as the KS0KS0-continuum are given.
